Diagnosis

The closest species to C. hamatra sp. nov. is C. makiorum sp. nov. The tergum X of these two species are relatively small (as in C. jejyorum sp. nov. and in C. gattolliati sp. nov.) but, their inferior appendages are roughly rectangular and not triangular or L-shaped as in all the other species of the group. Moreover, these appendages have a distinct and heavily sclerotized supplementary branch on the distal edge. This branch is inserted at mid-height in C. hamatra sp. nov. ( Fig. 10A View Fig ), whereas almost apically in C. makiorum sp. nov. ( Fig. 11A View Fig ).

Etymology

The name is a Malagasy adjective that means ‘uncommon’.

Description

SIZE. Forewing 7.1 mm, hind wing 5.6 mm.

TERGUM X. Lateral lobe reduced; dorsal branch straight (lateral view), relatively short with, at midlength, a small lateral bump bearing two sensillae; ventral branch short and thin.

INFERIOR APPENDAGES. Wide, roughly rectangular in lateral view; ventral branch weakly developed; median branch protruding, inserted on distal edge (lateral view), making the apex claw-shaped on dorsal view ( Fig. 10C View Fig ).

PHALLIC APPARATUS. Long, distal half of the phallotheca poorly sclerotized with the exception of a strip terminated by a triangular tip; internal sclerite long, with a basal triangular extension and curved apex; phallotremal sclerite relatively small, ending in a pair of hooks.
